What is your video card. Also, tried Demul or nulldc?

Looks like the case of Intel graphics. if I'm right, the OP can just forget about using Chankast.

**thablewprnt** · July 7th, 2007, 04:02

Yeah I have tried null...It is really buggy, and games won't even start up...I'm sure it's partially my fault, but chankast seems to be better for noobs...
Yes I do have a Intel chip set, so I guess that's my problem...Thanks for the help guys.....

What videocard? Integrated?

He already posted what chip he had. Besides, Intel doesn't make any other types of graphics hardware than integrated ones.

Why does Intel make graphics chipsets when they know they suck hard, NVIDIA makes good integrated graphics chipsets.

Well, because they make truckloads of money by producing them. In reality, Intel's integrated solutions are quite optimal of office computers. I don't think even Intel has the audacity to claim that the chips are actually worth their weight in today's gaming.

Using these chips in laptops is pretty self-explanatory.

The biggest douches are the retailers who strike deals with Intel to get cheap hardware for pre-built retail computers packages. Using Intel's chips (or any other integrated graphics chip) in desktop computers that are marketed as gaming PC's is unforgivable. Families buy these computer packages because they are rarely computer-savvy enough to pick and buy every piece of hardware themselves or ask enough questions about the computer they are about to buy.

Actually any intergrated card is never idea for game because they have problem reduce memory bankwigth and overall memory available; also the increase lantecy will reduce the performance more. example is my intel and nvidia graphic card not a fair comprassion. The different is signefect at higher setting in my games or as high as they will go. This isn't important in desktop however with the same hardware(cept graphic) and setting I could get about 2-3 difference between the intel graphic card and my nvidia 7400 go. most current intel graphic card don't support thing like t&l. My intel card doesn't support t&l and vector shaders.

Which is probably the biggest bottleneck of the entire Intel line of cards. Word has it though that their next model will have these features + much more.

About damn time, I say.
